Exactly. Or inflation skyrockets, which will lead to unemployment. The fact is, foreign investment is still providing jobs. That 2 cent T-shirt is still providing jobs for the kid folding it, the cashier, the manager, etc. These people then have money in their pockets to support other jobs. If it cost $100 per shirt, then nobody is buying them on their current wage, nobody is then working because their isn't any buying.
